COLUMBUS, Ohio — Samantha Prahalis is doing her best to make up for Monday’s miss.

The sophomore guard had 23 points, 10 assists, six rebounds and no turnovers in 31 minutes Thursday night for No. 4 Ohio State in an 81-58 victory over Minnesota.

“I don’t think you can’t take it personally,” she said of her missed layup that would’ve tied it Monday night, a game Ohio State lost 63-61 at Purdue, snapping the Buckeyes’ 12-game winning streak.

“I wanted to get back out and play and play better than I did Monday,” she said. “I’m never going to wash that away. I’ve just got to play better. I owe it to my team to be there mentally and physically the whole game. Monday I really wasn’t.”

Prahalis was all over the court against the Gophers and had 19 points and nine assists in the first half as Ohio State took a 55-26 lead.

“She played a great game,” Lavender said. “She took her time. She delivered the ball. She was a great leader. You couldn’t really see any mistakes.”

Among Prahalis’ passing gems were a half-court chest pass to Lavender; a full-length lob to a streaking Tayler Hill and a no-look, between the legs back pass to Sarah Schulze that gave the Buckeyes a 24-13 lead.

Hill, a freshman from Minneapolis, scored nine points.

The Gophers were trying to match last season’s 59-56 win in Columbus — Ohio State’s only loss at home to an unranked team in 108 games — and were down just 19-13 after seven minutes thanks to hitting all three three-pointers.

But Ohio State’s transition game was too much for the Gophers, who trailed by 35 with 5:30 to play before making the score respectable against the Buckeyes’ reserves.

Ohio State coach Jim Foster sensed his team was eager to get back on the court and so was he.

“I’m just glad I’m not a football coach. They play once a week; two days and we’re back. We keep playing games,” he said. “You have to snap back. You can’t get down. You can’t pout. You just have to clear your head.”

Minnesota, which hosts Illinois on Sunday, has lost all three games since starting guard China Antoine (knee surgery) was injured.

Glen Perkins’ 16-month comeback odyssey reached fruition Thursday afternoon as the decorated Twins reliever trotted in from the bullpen to pitch the ninth inning against the Cleveland Indians with a four-run deficit. It hardly mattered to Perkins, activated off the 60-day disabled list for his first big-league outing since April 10, 2016, that he was being eased back into the...

Gophers football coach P.J. Fleck spent eight minutes breaking down why he declared Thursday that both Demry Croft and Conor Rhoda will play in the season opener against Buffalo on Aug. 31. Whether the sophomore Croft or the senior Rhoda takes the first snap at TCF Bank Stadium will be inconsequential, Fleck said, and despite how one of them performs...

Max Kepler made up for his embarrassing miscue in memorable fashion. Shortly after his slip on the slick outfield grass allowed the tying run to score in Thursday’s doubleheader nightcap, Kepler cracked his 15th homer to lift the Twins to a 4-2 win over the Cleveland Indians at Target Field. That seventh-inning turnabout ended a 10-game home losing streak against...
